Non Marring Fork Top Cap Wrench
#1

The saying goes " the majority of any successful project, is having the right tools to do it". Over the years, I have found this saying to be very true. I recently purchased a fork top cap wrench for about $20 including shipping off EBay. The wrench is JMP brand, made in Germany, and is made of a non marring material composed of glass, fiber, and polymer.

The top caps on our CBs are 24mm, and are color anodized. While every other top cap wrench I was able to find was aluminum or steel, this was the only non marring wrench I could find anywhere. Shipping from the U.K. to me was very prompt. When it arrived I was impressed with how stout the wrench is. It is 10 inches long ( good leverage ) and 3/8 inch thick. The wrench fit very snugly on my top caps with no slop.

I thought I would pass this on to everyone as a reasonably priced quality tool, and a worthwhile addition to the tool box for fork oil changes, or changing out top caps with no tool marring. It can be found on EBay, auction # 282384322423 . I suppose it might also be found by searching JMP tool Germany.

Thanks for this post , having the right tool is as you say the difference between a good job and a stressful one.
When I had my farm I always had the best equipment for my help , this was than one less excuse for them to do a poor job.

Where did you find the other non marring wrench/es? I hunted all over the place but the one I posted was the only one I could find that was non marring. Everyone but the guy in the U.K. that I was able to find was either stamped steel, or machined aluminum.
